Cob slideshow tour report

>Dear Friends,
>
>I just finished a five-city tour of my slideshow entitled, "Natural
>Building and Social Justice". In five days I shared what I have to say
>with  people in Corvallis & Bend, Oregon, Moscow, Idaho, and Spokane &
>Ellensburg, Washington. As far as I was able to tell, my message of
>far-reaching  change toward real sustainability and social equity was
>enthusiastically  received everywhere I went. It’s conceivable that
>two new EcoBuilding  Guild chapters will form in Bend and Ellensburg
>resulting from the tour. Almost  200 people saw my presentation.

>When I got back, there were emails waiting for me from Vancourer, BC and
>Hopland, CA. I’m now emboldened to set up a more ambitious tour
>extending  into British Colombia and California. I’m seeking
>contacts for  environmental groups up and down western North America that
>would like to host  me in their cities. As long as I’m going to
>drive those miles, I wish to  have my presentation seen by as many people
>as possible. Ideally, I would drive  no more than two hours per day
>– stopping at every little city along the  way. Much of the fun of
>the last tour was all the interesting people that I met.  They put me up
>in their homes and fed me. They’ll remain my friends. This  time, in
>addition to being housed and fed, I would like to start to be paid a
>little bit of money – an amount surely affordable by any group.

 >Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide,

Hello all,

I would just like to throw my support behind Robert's slideshow. I was glad
I saw his presentation when he was last here in Vancouver. This is a must
see presentation. I found it to be one of the best presentations on natural
building I've seen. Robert's discussion of building and politics is is both
very witty and engaging.  Hopefully you will be able to help Robert
organize this tour as I feel this his is a very important message for as
many people as we can get to see and hear.
